That earlier post was wrong, that refers to WLM 2009, not WLM 8.5

You don't need the 1001 definition, just use the 1001 style and put those few lines at the top of it......that's all i did to mine to get a picture behind the contact list.

Download my skin to see how it's done.  the best way is to look at someone else's code and see how they did it, that's how you learn.

Basically, don't replace the 1001 definition file, just the 1001 style file.

You also need to make sure you've changed the font colour otherwise you won't be able to see anything...just check that the scrollbar looks the normal size, or add an alpha attribute to the picture (like i have done) to make it a bit see-through

wait....in the original skinpack are also no fonts...so what now? o.O =/

I've done that with the Style file....the same problem...

Post your code from the style file?

did you remember to set 1001 style to replace in your definition file?

and you don't add the font files in the script, you just change the colours in the style file as indicated on the first page of this thread

sorry....didnt understand this completly =/
can you say it in a easier way?

Did you put code in the skininfo to use the 1001 style file?

XML code:

---

<Replace>
<Window>
<Styles>
<Style Id="1001">
<File>styles/1001 Style.txt</File>
</Style>
</Styles>
<Windows>
</Replace>

---

or wherever your 1001 style file is located and named

also, remove the reference to the 1001 definition as you don't need to replace that.

insider's reply to Contactlist, Statusmessages, Nicknames etc.

That post explains how to change the colour of your font

ähm...i just want to ask something....I used that prostreet skin as base....and just changed the pictures....so when i load the prostreet skin its all perfekt...if i change to my skin the prostreet skin with changed pictures why my contactlist is gone....the styles and definitions shall be right if i dont change them....i use the pictures in the same resolution as the originals and of course the same filetypes....could it have to do something with the picture?



harhar...It seems to be that i just forgot some pictures so the contactlist could not be loaded...i took the prostreet pack again added my pictures and.....tata....it works....i'm sorry that i waisted your time =( but thank you that you took the time to help me =)
